Lyrics - Nepalese Rose

A little girl walked all alone in the road
The sun and rain fell upon her
Her sunflower eyes were the widest I’m told
And she wondered the highest of wonders
Oh why did my daddy leave me all alone
When I was too young to remember?
My mommy went so far away I am told
Oh why can’t these older ones find her
One day grandma took her along to her work
To ask the nice ladies about her
If someone they knew might be looking to find
A daughter who might look just like her
Her spirit flew higher than others they say
It searched for some family to love her
It found special people a half world away
Who knew there was something about her
And when they came over to look at her land
They knew that they’d found a new sister
For their young son who’d cried so long to see
For he only knew that he missed her
A long time ago there’s a story I’m told
About a young prince who loved roses
The one that he chose was the fairest of all
But only because he had chose it
And that is the moral of this fairy tale
The little girl chose her new mother
And a father whose loving would open the world
And she found that she found her new brother
She found that she found her new brother
